MSBUILD publish ERROR_USER_UNAUTHORIZED - msbuild

Summary
I'm using a 9.2.0 Gitlab's CI multirunner on a Windows Server 2016. On a step where I publish ASP.NET project through MSBUILD I've got an authentication error ERROR_USER_UNAUTHORIZED from IIS. But when I use a CMD window on a build machine there I run the same command for publish - everything is published. Doesn't matter if I used a SYSTEM or an ADMINISTRATOR account.
Steps to reproduce
Setup IIS publish.
Setup Gitlab's build agent.
Create the Gitlab's YAML build script (see below).
Run the build.
Actual behavior
On a publish step I've got the ERROR_USER_UNAUTHORIZED error.
Expected behavior
On a publish step I've got my ASP.NET published to a server.

Dotnet Sonarcloud end failed

I trying to integrate my Solution based on .net6 with SonarCloud and Github actions.The problem is that the action build failed on the sonar scanner end.I tried to change working dirs but with the same effect.The project is public HERE

NETSDK1045: The current .NET SDK does not support 'newer version' as a target

I've created a simple ASP.NET CORE 6 Web API. I then pushed it to Github. When I try to create a pipeline in Azure Devops, I'm getting the error.
C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\5.0.403\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\targets\Microsoft.NET
.TargetFrameworkInference.targets(141,5): error NETSDK1045: The current .NET SDK does not support
targeting .NET 6.0. Either target .NET 5.0 or lower, or use a version of the .NET SDK that supports
.NET 6.0.
I've just downloaded VS 2022 community edition. I've installed .Net SDK 6.
Here's my csproj file

Thanks for helping
After reading this 2 links, it there were 2 issues with the template from Azure devops.
the restore packages kept on looking for SDK 5. So this task fixed the issue. I've to include a step that mentions SDK 6. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/package/nuget?view=azure-devops
also it kept on targeting Visual Studio 2019, which doesn't support .NET 6.0.x. Therefore, instead of vmImage: 'windows-latest', using vmImage: 'windows-2022' allow the build to succeed https://github.com/dotnet/core/issues/6907.
I ended up using the classic template so that I can understand better how the pipeline works. 1) Either using ubuntu-latest or windows-2022. 2) add a step for the version of SDK.

Unfortunately it's easy to confuse things, since Microsoft's naming is anything but consistent.
You need to use .NET Core guide for this: Build, test, and deploy .NET Core apps
To save you time, here is a simple YAML pipeline to build ASP.NET Core applications:

travis build fails running msbuild due to MSB4019

I am trying to build automatically a golang project in a windows environment with travis and to package the .exe making use of msbuild and wix.
The very same configuration works with Github actions and therefore I believe that both the .wixproj and the wxs are correct and there is some issue with the configuration of msbuild in the travis installation, but I have no more clues.
Possibly the msbuild installed by travis does not include the required wix toolset, I tried to install them, however while creating the package the error persist
The error
C:\Users\travis\gopath\src\github.com\gallo-cedrone\nri-elasticsearch\pkg\windows\nri-amd64-installer\nri-installer.wixproj" (default target) (1) ->

I found a solution thanks to enter link description here
Basically I was installing the wixtools, however the installation folder was not the expected one by vs2017.
It can be fixed simply by changing:
<Import Project="$(WixTargetsPath)" />
with:
<Import Project="$(WixTargetsPath)" Condition=" '$(WixTargetsPath)' != '' " />
<Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\WiX\v3.x\Wix.targets" Condition=" '$(WixTargetsPath)' == '' AND Exists('$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\WiX\v3.x\Wix.targets') " />
and removing the WixTargetsPath clouses contitions.

Setup of azure-pipelines.yml "No web project was found in the repository" with ASP.NET Core

Why these error and what am I doing wrong?
Additional information
- I can build and publish from Visual Studio to my Azure web app. My API is working. I just cannot do it as part of CI / CD.
- I don't understand this error because I don't understand why the DotNetCore are requesting a web.config.
It only worked for me when I gave it the path to my Web API (set **/*WebApi.csproj to your own location).
But just as importantly, I had to assure the build agent it was NOT a web project by setting publishWebProjects to false.

Q: Are emojis necessary in the publish definition?
A: Yes, emojis are necessary. (Actually, no. But it would be less silly than having to set publishWebProjects to false.)

AppVeyor build error MSB3774: Could not find SDK "Microsoft.AdMediator.Universal"

I am getting this MsBuild error when trying to build my Universal Windows Platform (UWP) application with AppVeyor:
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\bin\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(2048,5): error MSB3774: Could not find SDK "Microsoft.AdMediator.Universal, Version=1.0". [C:\projects\santasegameengine\Source\UI\Santase.UI.WindowsUniversal\Santase.UI.WindowsUniversal.csproj]

Here is the full build log: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/NikolayIT/santasegameengine/build/1.0.252
And here is the source code of the app in GitHub: https://github.com/NikolayIT/SantaseGameEngine/tree/master/Source/UI/Santase.UI.WindowsUniversal
How can I fix such an error?
Adding this as PS (PowerShell) script (as before build script) fixed the problem for me:
Here is the script:
Write-Host "Installing Microsoft Universal Ad Client SDK..."
$msiPath = "$($env:USERPROFILE)\AdMediator.msi"
(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/401703a0-263e-4949-8f0f-738305d6ef4b/file/146057/6/AdMediator.msi', $msiPath)
cmd /c start /wait msiexec /i $msiPath /quiet
Write-Host "Installed" -ForegroundColor green
And the result:
